Reactions on Twitter to the Mumbai gang rape

Tags:

A photographer in her early 20s was gang-raped by five men in Indiaâ€™s financial capital Mumbai on Thursday, evoking comparisons with a similar incident in Delhi in December that led to nationwide protests.

Here is a compilation of politicians and other celebrities reacting on Twitter:

Amitabh Bachchan, actor: Appalled and most disgusted with the recent rape of a young photo journalist in the heart of city .. day time .. shocked !!

The real estate story of Mill lands in Mumbai is now painted with the colors of crime. I am sure many of us wouldn’t have forgotten another such incident in a mill land a few years back !

Where the affluent is going vertical in luxurious condos, the slum dwellers are going deeper into muck ! That’s the story here. Are we leaving behind the unfortunate part of society to disentegrate into barbaric criminals or would we take them along the urban growth story ? Does the government have any clue ? Points to ponder.

Having said that, wondering how much of verbal condemnation is going to help ?! It is but natural to condemn such incidents. But is that enough ?! And why are’nt all of us not unanimous in supporting capital punishment for savagery and castration for rape as the minimum deterrent ?! Because there is still that significant number of ‘moderate’ ‘human rights’ morons who still believe criminals should be saved and not the culprits ! Till the day something happens to them or their dear ones ! Where are they in rehabilitating these people before they commit a crime ?! I am ashamed to be part of such a society !!!
